- lwouis 7y agoI considered using something like this, but as I explained in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21254984 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21254984), I think visual matching beats other approaches. I think the few seconds it takes to think about which app owns the window, or what text could match the window, will be longer that directly looking and visually recognizing your window. Again, this opinion is not supported by research. You may want to experiment on yourself. It is also not only about speed but the comfort of each work-flow may differ for different people.
- keybits 7y agoI love Contexts it has some great features. I was over the moon to discover that it allowed me to cmd-tab to a Finder window even if it was minimised! (Native macOS cmd-tab does not raise a Finder window even though the application is running.) Switching between Windows of the same application without needing to resort to cmd-tilde is also nice. Lots of customisation and power user options available in the settings.
